28 days until there will be nothing green in this glass again, will be wine. we're doing a countdown. >> it didn't take long for people to -- this is my friend emily werdes. she got it from another friend, she didn't take credit for it but i'm giving her credit. >> what is it? >> fresh spinach, banana, pineapple juice, mint leaves, and ice. if you want the whole shabang, go on our website. it's really delicious. first time she showed it to me i went i don't think so, but then i wanted it every single day. >> really delicious. we're getting a lot of twitter feedback on our giving up wine from the show. cheryl wrote, giving up wine, i never thought you ladies were quitters. >> once in awhile you take one for the team. jimmy fallon hasn't heard the news, just across the street. we were mentioned in a special golden globes edition of jimmy's pros and cons. >> let's listen.

>> matt lauer and savannah guthrie from nbc's "today" show will host the golden globes special. hoda and kathie lee will host the golden globes after party booze cruise. that's the one you want to be at. >> that's the one, exactly. who wants to be at the first one? didn't the huffington post say something funny? >> hell has frozen over. >> we're trying to get our graphics together. it was a funny one. there's been a lot of buzz. >> lots of buzz. oh, there it is. hell freezes over. look at you dumping that last bit of wine into the glass. >> cute. >> all righty then. >> there's been quite the dust up over a beautiful young lady who was in the audience watching her boyfriend play football against notre dame. the quarterback for the alabama tide. she did not know the cameras were on her. her phone isn't working. that's her, and the woman to her

right and in front of her a little is his mother. so apparently just this shot got a lot of attention, but what got more attention was brent musburger's commentary. >> along with the other guy in the booth. i'm not sure who that was. let's listen. >> you quarterbacks, you get all the good-looking women. what a beautiful woman. if you're a youngster in alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pop. >> now she's also miss alabama. she's been dating a.j. mccarron since the early part of december. >> less than a month. a month and change. >> yeah, yeah. they look like they are having a nice time together, which is great. she's a beautiful girl. yesterday, espn apologized, which surprised an awful lot of people, because from -- you know how everything is relative, hoe darks the stuff we have heard, the vitriol that has come out of many people's mouths and

maybe they were fired or suspended, this did not seem malicious or vulgar. i mean, she is a beautiful girl. and i think if it hadn't been a 73-year-old man saying it. if boomer esiason had said it or jack buck, i don't know, i think -- but that's sexism in a weird way. i don't think she was offended. so why should anybody else be? >> i think it was a little weird. >> why, though? >> because if you say it once i kind of get it. went there's repetition it gets a little creepy. i do think the weird thing that happened was this little who didn't have her phone didn't realize became the focus. her boyfriend won this game. they were a blowout. people were like yeah what's the boyfriend? i had to look when you said his name mccarron. now you know the girlfriend's name kathryn but you don't know the boyfriend's. so she sort of got all the attention. he won -- their team won the title in a smear. but i get it. during one of the -- when

there's a blowout like that, there isn't anything to talk about if you're in the booth. >> i asked frank about it. he said first of all she is a beautiful girl. what are you supposed to say when you see a vision like that? he said what everybody else was thinking. he said the other thing is, unless you've been in a booth calling those kinds of blowouts you are looking for anything and everything to pass the time. >> i get it. >> you're trying to entertain people. you're trying to he a little fun with the guys you're working with. sometimes it doesn't -- i don't know. what did she say about it? she told matt she didn't think it was such a big deal so why should we. >> let's listen. >> you know, i think the media has been really unfair to him. i think that if he would have said something along the line that we were hot or sexy or made any derogatory statements like that i think that would have been a little bit different. but the fact that he said that we are beautiful and gorge ououi don't see why any woman wouldn't be flattered by that. >> first of all i wish someone

would say hot and sexy. really? thank you. again everything's relative. i didn't catch this time first time. "we." >> they were only talking about her. >> i know. but who's she thinking of? >> i feel bad for his mom who by the way is i think gorgeous. she's his mother. >> watch it. you're going to have to apologize. >> she didn't get any attention. look at the mom. >> she looks just like our -- can we get a shot on tammy, please? anthony? >> look at her. she looks great. >> she looks just like tammy. >> no one mentioned her. oh, yes. wow. >> no one mentioned -- you're right. he didn't mention -- no mention of the mom. the mother was next to her. >> there is everything's relative, hoda. it's the difference between 15 or 20 years is what we live in that kind of a society. >> 73 can't you think that someone in her late 30s or like the mom in her 40s is beautiful,

too? why just her? >> he wasn't looking at her. >> but he should have. >> he didn't see her. >> she was next to her. >>. >> hoda? >> what? >> here's the point. >> what is the point? >> she's not offended. so if she's not the object of it then we should all just relax. >> i think it was silly that espn apologized. >> they've had a little history in that regard. i think they're trying to pre-empt any trouble. >> that's when you start stutter stepping. not doing any wrong. >> if anybody should apologize maybe it was brent musberger. but she didn't think no apology necessary. >> done. put it to -- >> well, maybe he should. >> actually a nice guy. he's a nice guy. >> let's move on to kimye. are we going to buck the trend and call them kim and kanye? that is offensive to some people, too. >> kimye? >> no, some people being reduced as a couple. you want to issue yet another apology?

>> no, i don't do those. kim and kanye, as you know, are pregnant. now they are looking at this home -- is that a hair? >> just a little thing. >> okay. wish we had some wine to wash it down. anyway, the word is they bought a $11 million fixer upper. >> only in belair, baby. >> it's 10,000 feet. what do you do, can i just say, with all that space? isn't there a saying that love grows best in small places? like that's too big. how do you even communicate with one another? where are you? i'm in the third wing. what? >> again, if they've made their money themselves, they have the right, hoda, to choose the way they want to live. >> not that they don't have a right. but 10,000. how are you going to find your spouse in 10,000 square feet? >> it's called an intercom. i don't know. you know it's hard for a lot of people. it's hard for a lot of people who are trying to put bread on their tables to see this kind of excess. may not be excess to them.

maybe they can easily, easily afford it, maybe there's a $40 million one next door they could have afforded. this is the one they picked. but to a person looking at it, it's hard. times are really, really hard for people. >> i agree. i agree. >> you know who times are really hard for? >> who? >> lance armstrong. i'm stunned about this information. we were talking about this yesterday, we never got to this in our chat, we were doing things -- >> exercising. >> yeah. there's been a lot of controversy if he should come clean if he was doping during the seven tour de france wins. so he's going to talk to oprah. >> that was a big reveal, and he and oprah have a history. he's been on her show several times, now she's on own. i'll be curious her tone. >> she owns own. >> i'll be curious how she's going to be talking to him. she's known to do tough interviews when she really wants to. she did that with the guy who

wrote the book "a thousand little pieces." she was upset he misled her. if lance armstrong is going to say he was doping, he has misled a lot of people. it will be very fascinating to watch. >> it will get huge ratings, but here's the thing, we were talking the other day, what is to be gained from him admitting it? he's going to open himself up to, obviously, maybe he's just trying to clear his name, but this is just going to confirm what people have been saying. he's going to have financial problems because perhaps repay money in the lawsuits that he had that he won. he might owe millions to the different people that he won in court against. he might have to repay prize money. he might have to give back money that was given to livestrong. >> a lot of money. >> what's going to be interesting, for me, is his reason. >> i don't know, he said he wants to compete again. and even if you're not competing for big stakes or big bucks or

anything anymore, maybe he wants to be able to get out and try again. who knows. >> if they are saying almost everybody's doping in that industry, which a lot of people are alleging as well, if he's going to be the only one not doping, it's going to be a fascinating subject. now we're going to recap yesterday's show. the final calorie numbers are in, because we were burning calories throughout the show, all hour long, even commercial breaks we worked out. totals are here. the calories burned are kathie lee had 306. i had 224. >> look at my legs and look at yours. i'm doing two pumps to every one of yours. >> i got short, stubby post-menopausal legs and you are an egyptian goddess. . you're crazy. >> i have to work harder. then i have to go on a two-mile walk. >> did you walk after that? >> of course, i did. she's a multiplatinum country music icon. >> not to mention author, actress, activist.
